I cheat- I skip the whole seed planting thing and just go straight for
the plants. Capital Nursery sells a nice variety of heirlooms- so I
just get the 4 in pots and plant as soon as my south wall is warm enough
(or like this year- as soon as I get a bit of time to get them in). It
is now pouring down rain here- so they should be very happy. I added
alfalfa meal, bone meal, and a basic organic vegetable fertilizer before
planting. Also, happy to see that the earthworms I transplanted to my
raised beds have finally taken hold and are populating (wasn't sure this
would happen, as this is a raised bed on top of a concrete slab). I
periodically add compost (which is never quite done)- in hopes that this
will keep the worms happy and busy.

Donna, If you have to work another 8 when were you going to put the
potatoes
in anyway? Under outdoor lights? ;+)

Today's my day off and the weather took a dip just for today to a
high of 38
with rain/snow and then it's supposed to get nice again. Oh well, I
have as
much to do inside as out.

well, I have been at work for the last 2 1/2 hours and
won't get off for another 8..... YUCK!
The really crappy part it is the fact it is
snowing.... So I will not be able to get my potatoes
in today. So much for tradition!
